Our CEO loves the new iPhone 4s and has approved the company wide replacement of our Blackberries with the iPhone. We just got them in on Monday and myself and my co-worker have ours setup. We have a few concerns that may be showstoppers unless we can either find an app or figure a way to make the iPhone give a "nagging" alert notification indefinitely whenever a call has been missed. We had a similar issue with our Blackberries until we found an app that did the alerts for us exactly how we wanted, which worked well. My co-worker and I have searched high and low and have come up empty handed on any kind of "hands free" alert notification for the iPhone. Yes, it has to be "hands free", and work in the background without any interaction. (please don't ask) it's company policy. If anyone knows of a way to do the above, or has an app that can accomplish this, please let me know. We have 7 days to get this to work or we have to send them back and find an alternate phone. Plus, I will have to tell the CEO that his babies won't work for us. I sincerely hope there is something that can be done.

Before anyone says.."Look at Settings > Notifications" I have already looked at, changed, played with all those settings.

Currently this app is totally useless since it has to be left running in the foreground even in iphone 4 which supports multitasking. Nobody is going to start this app before putting the phone down every time. Waste of money.

That is company policy? I think the CEO needs to revisit that policy...

I don't think you're going to find this for the iPhone. The only way you could would be via a jailbreak method - standard apps are not allowed to mess with internal settings like that. When you get the alert you can just push the power button to turn the phone back off - that tells the phone that you acknowledge it and are going to ignore it for now. Or turn off notifications for phone calls completely if you're just not wanting to be bothered. Phone calls and texts work the same way in this regard.

Thanks for the info. After talking to the CEO, we have decided that the iPhone will not suite our needs. It is unfortunate, since I have grown to really like it. I have to send them back. We will have to find an alternate phone to replace our Blackberries.
